Dejounte Murray Highlights vs. LA Clippers 12/30/24

DECEMBER 31, 2024 • YOUTUBE

Shooting woes continue Murray chipped in 15 points (6-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists, one block and three steals in 39 minutes during Friday's 132-124 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Murray struggled from the field once again Friday, shooting under 43 percent for the sixth time in the past eight games. Although his supporting stats have been more than adequate, Murray has been woeful from the field, currently shooting a career-worst 36.5 percent through 15 games. Having lost 18 of their past 19 games, it's fair to say the acquisition of Murray has not been a positive experience thus far.

Scores 17 points in loss Murray closed Thursday's 128-111 loss to Houston with 17 points (7-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and three steals over 27 minutes.

Impact Murray couldn't repeat the impressive stat line from Sunday's loss to the Nuggets, where he ended with 17 points, 15 assists, eight rebounds and six steals. However, he did an excellent job filling out the stat sheet while scoring in double digits for the ninth time in a row. Over that nine-game stretch, Murray is averaging 18.0 points, 6,7 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 2.2 steals per tilt.

Monster stat line Sunday Murray accumulated 17 points (7-24 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds, 15 assists, one block and six steals over 44 minutes during Sunday's 132-129 overtime loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Several Pelicans delivered impressive stat lines in this overtime loss, but Murray's certainly stood out, mainly due to the six steals and 15 assists. Fantasy managers will gladly live with the 7-for-24 shooting line if Murray continues to rack up stats left and right in future contests. Murray has scored in double digits in each of his last eight games, averaging 18.1 points, 7.0 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 2.1 steals per appearance in that span.

Teases triple-double in loss Murray accumulated 14 points (5-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Saturday's 104-93 loss to the Knicks.

Impact The veteran point guard nearly produced his first triple-double of the season and the 20th of his career, but he had to settle for tying his season high in boards. Murray is still struggling to get comfortable in the Pelicans' offense, and over 11 games since returning from hand surgery he's averaging 16.4 points, 6.7 assists, 6.5 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.7 threes while shooting 37.4 percent from the floor and 30.6 percent from beyond the arc.

Drops 19 against Indiana Murray notched 19 points (8-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Sunday's 119-104 loss to the Pacers.

Impact The veteran point guard appears to have found his rhythm after missing about a month with a fractured left hand. Murray has scored at least 17 points in five straight games, averaging 20.0 points, 7.0 assists, 6.8 boards, 2.0 threes and 1.8 steals over that stretch, and his usage figures to remain high while Brandon Ingram (ankle), Jose Alvarado (hamstring) and Jordan Hawkins (back) are all missing from the Pelicans' backcourt.

Fills stat sheet Thursday Murray contributed 20 points (8-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and one steal across 35 minutes during Thursday's 111-109 loss to the Kings.

Impact CJ McCollum led the way offensively for the Pelicans, but there's no question Murray had an impressive showing from a fantasy perspective as well. He finished just one assist and three rebounds away from a triple-double. Murray has surpassed the 15-point mark in five of his last seven contests, a span in which he's averaging 17.0 points, 7.0 assists and 6.6 rebounds per game. His fantasy upside should continue to trend in the right direction since the Pelicans are without two key contributors in Brandon Ingram (ankle) and Zion Williamson (hamstring).

Logs second double-double of season Murray registered 18 points (6-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, 11 assists and two blocks in 34 minutes during Sunday's 121-116 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Murray's numbers have been decent since his extended absence, averaging 16.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.6 blocked shots over the past seven games. He's coming alive at a convenient time, as Brandon Ingram's (ankle) absence will leave a gaping hole on a roster that's already snake-bit with injuries. If Murray and CJ McCollum can maintain a healthy backcourt, the Pelicans have a chance to get back into contention before the season gets out of hand.

Impact Murray was the leading scorer for the Pelicans in this contest, but he did more than score the rock, as he also led the team in rebounds and steals. The floor general suffered a fractured hand in the first game of the season and was sidelined until Nov. 27, but he's been putting up solid numbers since returning to the hardwood. He's scored over 15 points in three of his previous five appearances, a span in which he's averaging 16.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 3.0 steals per contest.
